For me at least, existing completely without GMail / Google SSO is unrealistic, and the million email corpus that is attached to it would be painful to part with as well.

But I've been trying to slowly de-tangle myself, and for it's faults ProtonMail has been working out pretty OK for me as a compromise between usability and true digital freedom.

It’s not hard to move a million emails over imap between providers.

However, gmail has some anti abuse throttling, so you might need to do a one time painful manually rate limited slow sync to get them out.

The smaller providers generally don’t engage in such bullshit, in my experience.
